This Coup Against Democracy Must Be Stopped

I
will have to keep this short, and this may be unpolished.This topic is big, but my time is
limited.

But
it must be noted that the attempted coup against our democracy that began with
protests against the results of a free and fair election, then continued with
attacks on the Electoral College, continues still.While Senate Democrats make it as difficult as never before
in modern history for Trump to put his people in place, while fed judges are
trying to take over immigration and national security, Obama/Establishment
holdovers are criminally leaking and undermining the President we elected.It is borderline treason against
democracy.

And
this is an attack on our democracy more than it is against Trump.DemocRATS and Establishment Republicans
would not have us rule ourselves under the Constitution.They
shall rule us whether by democratic means or not . . . or else. . . .

Obviously strongly prefer normal
democratic and constitutional politics. But if it comes to it, prefer the deep
state to the Trump state.

We
did not choose correctly in the past election.So they are undermining that choice by means legal and
illegal, political and criminal.

And
before you write off my concerns as fever swamp rants, John Podhoretz of all
people is alarmed by the brazen attacks on Trump and what they may
lead to.

The result might well be
violence. Not rhetorical violence. Actual violence. Actual political violence.
Actual conflicts between anti-Trumpers and Trumpers. At demonstrations. In the
streets. Of our cities. Political violence of a sort we haven’t seen in 50
years, and maybe haven't really seen in this country in the modern era. Those
who believe Trump is a unique menace whose threat to our democratic way of life
will be met with those who believe the elites are using illicit means to oust
the legitimately elected president of the United States.

And
Lefty Democrat (though one I respect) Dennis Kucinich is also warning about
attacks from the Deep State.

For
the sake of our democracy, Trump must “drain the swamp” of backstabbers,
traitors and criminals.And it is
becoming clear he must do that fast.There needs to be mass firings.If there is anyone in the bureaucracy Trump does not have reason to
trust who can be fired, they should be out, now.Those who cannot be fired due to our absurd civil service laws
should be reassigned to windowless rooms without computers.

Further,
there should be perp walks.I want
to see at least two or three perp walks a week to put fear into would-be
traitors.Obama’s criminals
especially have never had a price to pay and think they never will.That must stop.There must finally be a measure of
justice.Lock Them Up!

Whether
you agree with my prescription or not, do not put your head in the sand.It is not just Trump who is under
attack.Our constitutional
democracy, our right to rule ourselves, is under attack from within.
